Stars lose, 4-3

Loui Eriksson scores early in the third period (sounds like it hit off his skate; Daley and Crombeen on the assists), but the Stars couldn't muster anything else in a 4-3 loss. The Stars did have a few seconds' worth of 5 on 3 time late in the third, but Sean Avery was whistled for a penalty, ending that.

The Blackhawks had most of their regulars in the lineup tonight (Toews, Kane, Campbell, Sharp, etc.) while the Stars' grit bunch was on the ice. The Blackhawks had a nice power-play night, going 3 or 8 (Stars were 0 for 7). Tobias Stephan stopped 24 of 28.

The Stars head to Colorado now. I'll be heading up myself tomorrow morning, so we'll talk to you from the Rocky Mountains for the next few days.
